Jason welcomes Japanese media personality Kaho Shibuya for a prismatic chat about reading novels to understand Japan, teachers turning into deer, an unusual use for Minute Maid Morning Banana jelly, being jealous of temples, & how cooking at home befriends you in the realm of your budget. Also discussed: the recent English translation of Kaho's book, 'The Japanese Porn Industry Unmasked: An Insider's Guide.' Music from Kaho herself, as well as from savage hunk DJ Max in Tokyo (www.youtube.com/channel/UC2U1n0V9JT89-tH2fNubDMg). Many thanks to Wayne Emde for the artwork, Joe Emde for help with the intro, & Sasha Emde for help with the outro. Join the early sh*t chat at https://www.facebook.com/WRTESpodcast & on Instagram @writersreadtheirearlyshit. Thank you, wherever & whoever & however you are, for listening.
